Mangala: Pranams Guruji, There are many Brahmins who say they are orthodox. They dont touch others. They say only if we follow these, as a Brahmin we can attain God.. But Swamiji, by doing this they are very streamlined and are not broad minded. Will such orthodox pave way to God? Or is such orthodox mentioned in our Vedas? Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you, my daughter. Vedas never tell to be an orthodox person. The spiritualism is based on eternal knowledge of Vedas which emanates direct from God wherein love with each other- live and let live, to get progress along with others etc., has been very well preached. Caste-system has not even been mentioned in Vedas. (Yajurveda mantra 31/11)

When orthodox system has not been mentioned in Vedas then how an orthodox be able to realise God, being against the Vedas?

D: Swamiji charan sparsh swami ji i wanted to know that i used to follow one group before and they used to send heelings , or blessings or deeksha in that when they used to send i was feeling vibrations in head or hot in back so can you please let us know if that is ok if i got heelings or blessings like this Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you. such procedure of heelings, blessings etc., has not been mentioned in Vedas, please. So, it is unauthentic being against the Vedas. But, if they at their own are following such paths, they may go ahead.
